Your Presence

Your+Presence

Your presence

Forever made me feel lonelier

Than the absence

Of everyone I loved

 

We only talked

About the things that mattered

And pretended

They didn’t

 

You only dreamed

About the people

Lost in memory

Forever forgotten

 

Fabricated by your nostalgia

And romanticized by your

Broken heart
